Chapter 166: My Husband Is The Most Handsome
The next morning, Uncle Hai returned to the villa because he had something on. Yan Xi took on the task of helping Gu Shen wash up.
Gu Shen had been busy dealing with the Gu Electronics and Hotel, so he didn't have time to take care of his hair. His fringe was so long that it almost blocked his sight.
When Yan Xi helped him wash face, his fringes got wet too.
"Your hair is wet." Yan Xi washed her hands and took out a hair tie.
"Gu Shen, let me help you tie your fringe up. Otherwise, it'll get wet later."
Gu Shen resisted. He pursed his lips. "I'll wash it myself."
"But you'll still get your fringe wet." Yan Xi smiled. "It'll be very troublesome if your hair gets wet. You're a patient now, so everything has to be taken care of. And I'll just tie it for a while. I promise no one will see it."
"It's alright." Gu Shen tilted his head to avoid Yan Xi's hand.
He did not want to get his hair tied up.
"No one will see it." Seeing that Gu Shen was avoiding her, Yan Xi became even more enthusiastic. "Just the two of us."
"No, stop it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xi immediately changed her expression. She pouted, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
"Gu Shen, you shouted at me!"
Gu Shen was helpless. "I didn't." He just raised his voice a little.
"You did!" Yan Xi went on. "Yesterday, I helped you get the test results and even went to give cake and flowers to the medical staff. I even peeled an apple for you. But you shout at me!"
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became. With a snort, she turned around and stopped talking.
"Fine." Gu Shen sighed and compromised. "Is the door locked?"
"Don't worry! I've already locked it. I promise no one will come in."
Gu Shen nodded and looked up. He obediently let Yan Xi tie his fringe up.
"I knew you'd look handsome with your fringe up too." Yan Xi said happily, "As expected of my husband!"
Gu Shen looked at the mirror and suddenly felt that the knot on his head was not so annoying.
Yan Xi helped Gu Shen wash his face, then wiped it dry with a washcloth. Then she hugged Gu Shen's neck and kissed him on the cheek.
"My husband is the most handsome!"
Gu Shen's ears turned red. He pulled off the hair tie and said flatly, "Just this once."
After breakfast, Gu Shen started working.
Now, he was in control of the financial business of the Gu Group.
He had just finished handling a file when his phone rang.
It was from Old Master Gu.
Gu Shen's eyes darkened. He picked up the phone and heard his voice immediately. "Where are you?"
"I'm in the hospital." Gu Shen said respectfully, "Grandpa, what can I do for you?"
Old Master Gu paused. "Why are you in the hospital?"
"Regular injections. You don't have to worry," Gu Shen replied.
Gu Shen would head to the hospital every once in a while to inject medicines, so Gu Hai did not suspect anything.
"Your third uncle is currently in B City. Call and warn the media there to seal their mouth."
"Yes."
"By the way, there's one more thing. I found out that you had nothing to do with what happened last time." At this point, Old Master Gu pinched the space between his eyebrows.
He did not expect Gu Ling to be the one who leaked the news. His children really started to get out of hand.
"It's fine." Gu Shen said, "Grandpa, you've always taught me to prioritize the Gu family's interests. I'll remember what you said."
"You did very well."
Gu Shen then reported to him about his recent work. "The financial business is getting better recently. When Uncle comes back, he can take over immediately."
Old Master Gu was stunned for a moment and could not believe it. "You're willing to hand the financial business back to your uncle?"
"Yes, it belongs to Uncle." Gu Shen smiled and said, "I'm just helping Uncle manage it for the time being."
Chapter 167: I'm Opposite You
Old Master Gu did not agree immediately this time. Gu Shen waited for a long time before he heard Old Master Gu sigh deeply.
"We'll talk about this later. Rest well. It's starting to get cold. Remember to bundle yourself up."
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shen smiled sarcastically.
Of course, he had to hand the financial business to Gu Sheng. Otherwise, who would be there to bear the responsibility of the broken fund chain?
Gu Shen suddenly felt a little tired. As soon as he closed his eyes, he was interrupted by the ringing of a phone. He opened his eyes and realized that it was not his phone, but Yan Xi's.
Yan Xi also heard her phone ringing. When she saw Gu Shen picking up her phone, she panicked and quickly rushed over, wanting to snatch the phone away.
Before Gu Shen could turn on her phone, he saw a figure pouncing over. He hugged her and said with a frown, "Be careful when you walk. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Phone." Yan Xi reached out her hand to him. "Give me my phone."
Was there a secret in the phone? Gu Shen frowned unhappily.
"Why are you so nervous?" Gu Shen gripped the phone tightly and raised his hand.
Yan Xi immediately reached out to grab it while explaining, "I'm not nervous. I want to buy a set of limited-edition cosmetics. The release will start at ten o'clock. That was the alarm clock I set!"
"Cosmetics? What do you want? I'll get Gu Er to send it to you."
"Then it's not fun anymore." Yan Xi moved up. "Give me my phone!"
She was in a hurry and did not realize that the buttons on her clothes had been undone, revealing her fair skin.
Gu Shen cleared his throat and looked away before returning the phone to her.
Yan Xi took the phone and opened it to take a look. She then stole a few glances at Gu Shen, wondering if he had seen the content of the email.
"Button your shirt up," Gu Shen suddenly said, his voice slightly hoarse.
"What's wrong?" Yan Xi lowered her head to look at it, then frantically buttoned up her shirt. Why was this shirt of such poor quality that it would break apart so easily?
She buttoned up and sat on the sofa beside her. She walked away before checking the content of the email.
It was an email from Zhou Xu, and the content was what she had expected.
[Senior, Professor Qin Liang quit the group because of an accident. Are you willing to join the group and treat Mr. Gu?]
Seeing this email, Yan Xi felt a little excited, perhaps because she was finally going to return to being a doctor.
[I agree. Let's talk when we meet.]
On the other side, Zhou Xu, who was anxiously waiting for the message, heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately replied.
[That's great, Senior. Your participation will definitely greatly improve the success rate of our treatment plan. When you are free, I can go and find you.]
[In the hall on the first floor of the Rehabilitation Center. See you in an hour.]
Zhou Xu was afraid that this senior would feel neglected, so he waited in the hall on the first floor half an hour earlier. After a while, he saw Yan Xi walk out of the elevator unhurriedly and sit opposite him.
"Mrs. Gu." He immediately stood up. "What can I do for you? Is there a problem with Mr. Gu? Or do you want Mr. Gu's test results?"
Zhou Xu continued anxiously, "I've already compiled Mr. Gu's test results into electronic documents. You don't have to come and find me personally."
Yan Xi looked at him with a faint smile. "Take a seat first. I do have something to tell you."
Zhou Xu looked at his watch. "Please go ahead. But I'm meeting someone else today. I don't have much time left. I'm very sorry."
"Meeting someone? Other than me, you're meeting someone else?"
Zhou Xu revealed a puzzled expression. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Gu. Maybe my assistant forgot to tell you about my schedule..."
His phone suddenly rang and Zhou Xu immediately opened it.
"I'm opposite you."
Chapter 168: Meeting The Senior
Zhou Xu looked up in confusion and found that there was no one else opposite him. He went back to the email to double check.
Did she say she is opposite me? But I can only see Mrs. Gu, he thought.
Then as if struck by a thought, he suddenly looked up at Yan Xi.
"You..." Zhou Xu stuttered as a lot of thoughts were running through his mind.
Yan Xi raised her eyebrows. "Why? Are you surprised?"
Zhou Xu widened his eyes. After a while, he asked carefully, "Are you Senior?"
"It's me." Yan Xi said, "That Senior Q who you've been emailing to."
Although he had already guessed it, Zhou Xu was still in disbelief when he heard this from Yan Xi.
"Mrs. Gu." He composed himself. "Are you really not joking with me?"
"Why would I joke with you?" Yan Xi drank a mouthful of water and said with a solemn expression, "Initially, I just wanted to participate in the spinal nerve surgery, but as you can see now, Professor Qin Liang suddenly quit. The first part of the auxiliary treatment needs someone else to replace him, so I have to step in."
"This is Gu Shen's diagnosis and treatment record. Take a look." Yan Xi handed the treatment record over. "The current results show that his neurons are gradually recovering, so the treatment must not be interrupted. I'll join the specialist group, and what you need to do is focus on cooperating with me."
Upon hearing that, Zhou Xu was relieved.
"Then..." Zhou Xu said, switching to a more respectful tone, "What do you need me to do for you?"
"Not for me, but for Gu Shen. You will tell Gu Shen that you will replace Professor Qin to perform acupuncture on him in the future."
"Senior, my acupuncture skill..."
"Of course I won't really let you do acupuncture." Yan Xi paused and continued, "I'll do acupuncture for Gu Shen myself."
Zhou Xu looked surprised, asking, "Are you still not going to tell Mr. Gu about this?"
"That's right."
"But why do you insist on keeping it from Mr. Gu?"
As soon as he finished, Zhou Xu regretted asking.
He was afraid that Yan Xi would blame him for meddling with her business.
However, Yan Xi did not speak. With her eyes cast down, she seemed to be in deep thought.
As a matter of fact, she wasn't sure either.
"I don't think I can hide it from Mr. Gu for long." Zhou Xu sighed. "Mr. Gu is already sending people to investigate me."
Yan Xi was surprised. She did not expect Gu Shen to be so vigilant.
"Mr. Gu is very sensitive. He already started suspecting me from last time when I couldn't answer his question on the data analysis problem. But I'm not so worried about that because recently, I've started to self-learn data analysis. You can rest assured."
He actually started to self-learn data analysis. Yan Xi felt more admiration for Zhou Xu.
"I'm just saying this to remind you that you can't keep secrets forever. Mr. Gu will find out sooner or later."
Yan Xi bit her lip. After a while, she said, "I'll tell him, but not now." She had already made up her mind that when Gu Shen regained his mobility, she would tell him about it.
Now Gu Shen was in the middle of his treatment. She did not want something to affect his mood.
"Zhou Xu, we're in a cooperative relationship now. I also have a favor to ask of you."
"Please go ahead."
"You don't have to be so polite to me." She revealed a smile, but her tone became more serious. "I'm Gu Shen's wife, the person closest to him. If I act emotionally during the treatment, please remind me."
Yan Xi found that she would feel bad for Gu Shen, and this kind of emotion would inevitably affect the treatment outcome.
She was not a robot and could not control her emotions all the time.
Zhou Xu said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will."
Zhou Xu felt emboldened. He inexplicably believed that with Yan Xi's participation, they would definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of medicine.
